A Sunny But Windy Day at the Airport

 I took Friday and Monday off this weekend.  I have some vacation time that I have to burn before the end of March.   On Friday I headed up to the Fish Point area to see if could catch any snowy oils.  Sadly, I saw some birds but they weren't close enough for pictures.  I did not see any owls.  It was pretty cold yesterday, so I decided to work on a model that will eventually be the Yankee Lady (when I get the decals).  Today was warmer but it was windy, so I decided to head to the airport.  There was at least one plane coming in that I wanted to catch.

 
First up was an A330 coming in from Amsterdam.
It was followed by an A321 from Fort Myers.
This was a Spirit Airlines A320neo that was also coming in from Fort Myers.
One of the planes that I wanted to catch.
This was a 787 coming in from Amman, Jordan.
A CRJ-900 coming in from Rochester.
The other plane that I wanted to catch.
I am always happy when I get a beacon shot.
The straight out shot.
And this beauty was coming in from Fort Lauderdale.
A CRJ-700 belonging to American Airlines coming in from Philadelphia.
A Cessna Citation coming in from Toronto.
I was pretty happy with this shot because I caught the A319 belonging to American Airlines and the business jet that was flying into Willow Run.
This A330 was coming in from London.
A CRJ-900 from Raleigh-Durham.
An American Airlines 737 coming in from Charlotte.
This is an A321neo belonging to Frontier Airlines.  The tail is Stewart the Red billed Steamertail.
A 737 from Miami.
And the last plane of the day.
It is another 757.
This particular one was coming in from Fort Lauderdale.
Much like the other one.

It was starting to cloud up and while the temperature was in the 50s, the wind made it colder.  I got what I wanted to get though.
